We're redesigning home design.

Our purpose is simple: give homeowners a better place to begin and the freedom to make it their own — with thoughtful modern architecture and expertise within reach.

WHY WE EXIST

There had to be another way.

We’ve seen the excitement that comes with deciding to build a home—and how quickly that excitement can fade when the realities of the design process set in.

For some homeowners, commissioning a custom architectural design simply isn't financially feasible. Others invest considerable time and money exploring a design direction, only to discover that the outcome isn't quite what they imagined. And sometimes, design fatigue sets in long before construction begins.

We began to wonder: what if there were a different place to start?

What if homeowners could begin with thoughtful modern architecture they already love, then work directly with the architects behind it to make it their own?

That question became the foundation of My Modern Home — a different approach to residential architecture that brings greater clarity to the design process, gives homeowners more confidence in their starting point, and focuses architectural expertise where it can make the greatest difference.

OUR ARCHITECTURAL PHILOSOPHY

Simplicity in design. Richness in living.

Life can be wonderfully full—of people, activities, ambitions and experiences. We believe the architecture around us should embrace that richness while offering a sense of calm, balance and belonging.

Our approach to modern design is grounded in simplicity, but never at the expense of warmth or character. Through thoughtful proportions, natural light, authentic materials and meaningful connections to the landscape, we create homes that feel both composed and alive. Sometimes that means restraint; other times, a bold architectural gesture. Every decision should serve a purpose.

It's about creating a sense of place, and a sense of pace. Architecture that welcomes gathering and retreat, balances openness with privacy, and evolves with the people who inhabit it.

Ultimately, we believe great architecture shouldn't compete with life. It should provide a beautiful, enduring backdrop for everything that unfolds within it.

OUR VALUES

Good architecture begins with good relationships.

Designing a home is personal. We believe the experience should be built on trust, open communication and mutual respect.


Honesty & Transparency

We believe in honest advice, clear expectations and being upfront about what's possible, what's involved and where other expertise may be needed. Good relationships begin with trust—and we believe trust is earned.


Collaboration & Respect

Great ideas come from listening, sharing perspectives and working together. We value the knowledge our clients bring about their lives, just as we respect the expertise of the builders and professionals who help bring their homes to life.


Commitment & Responsiveness

We know how much your home matters to you. We approach every project with care, communicate openly and strive to be a reliable resource throughout our work together.

MEET THE FOUNDER

Hello, I'm Kristin.

I'm the architect behind My Modern Home. What I enjoy most about my work is helping people. Architecture just happens to be how I get to do that.

I enjoy getting to know the people I work with, discovering what matters most to them and finding creative ways to incorporate those things into their homes.

There's something particularly rewarding about hearing from someone who connects with one of our designs, then having the opportunity to work directly with them. That's the part I enjoy most.

Testimonials

Recently, we engaged My Modern Home to work with us in an effort to create the perfect plan for our new home. Mr. Kristin St.Arnault has been a joy to work with, and the work product has been nothing short of exhilirating. We look forward to the actual build-out and possibly working with MMH on future endeavors. They are true professionals.
